After 2016 I’m taking nothing for granted.

As we were told in the 70’s during Vietnam Nam,if you don’t like it you’re free to leave. Go live with your hero’s Putin and Orban, etc

Barry Goldwater is tossing in his grave

You wold think THIS would give them some legitimacy https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/creation-israel#:~:text=On November 29%2C 1947 the,mandate was scheduled to end. In May 1946, Truman announced his approval of a recommendation to admit 100,000 displaced persons into Palestine and in October publicly declared his support for the creation of a Jewish state. Throughout 1947, the United Nations Special Commission on Palestine examined the Palestinian question and recommended the partition of Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state. On November 29, 1947 the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 (also known as the Partition Resolution) that would divide Great Britain’s former Palestinian mandate into Jewish and Arab states in May 1948 when the British mandate was scheduled to end. Under the resolution, the area of religious significance surrounding Jerusalem would remain a corpus separatum under international control administered by the United Nations.

Does archeology count. There is evidence. Look it up.

I spent a couple of years trying to supervise (on site) the drivers who worked for the company that had the monopoly on taxis and limos at DTW. This was about 12 years or so ago. My initial take is that these guys are not much different from your average MAGA

My favorite so far

Keep in mind it's still Michigan and there is probably a decent chance of snow on opening day

I received on of those. Evidently after nearly 4 years I'm still on the Michigan voter rolls

The only thing I'd change about this analogy is "When you see Trump with Putin, he's like the 12 year old boy who was just taken to the woodshed and just had his lunch money stolen "

Hit them where it hurts, get it done Brandon...

I'm seeing reports that registrars in Richmond (Va) are urging voters either to drop their ballot of at early voting sites or vote on Election Day (next week). Lovejoy's Postal Service has become very unreliable. Thanks Senile Donny

Around here generally the venues that provide entertainment the louder the music the worse the entertainer. That's my unprofessional opinion. If the PA system is cranked to 11, it's time to leave and cross the place off our list. One can provide entrainment an still be heard at 5 or 6 We go to a couple of wineries on a fairly regular basis. The music is usually outside if the weather permits. The performer is off to the side, you can hear them but they're unobtrusive. One winery brings in local bands in the summer, sets them up outside. There's usually enough space for those who want to dance. If we know in advance we'll throw a couple of lawn chairs in the car and head out.

When we lived there and qualified to vote as a senior citizen that was my preferred method. Head over to the locality's registrar's office on a morning off and get it done. It beat having to negotiate all those folks who had nothing else to do on Election Day but stand around and hold a sign on the actual day. Even in 2020 when everyone dropped out just before the Dem Primary day they allowed me to change my vote. Now I put my faith in the Postal Service

The California Libertarian convention. RFK Jr received one vote in the straw poll. The rest of the names have to be fake...

It's definitely the look of buyer's remorse. Or the first time as a kid you realized your parents had sex.

Plus judges like Clarence Thomas can get their RVs sooner without influence peddling. Theoretically

Back to the EC, the gentlemen who devised the system did so out of compromise. It during a time when only white male property owners could vote. They didn't trust the rabble to make a direct decision on who should hold the highest office in the new nation. There were no political parties and the state legislatures for the most part chose the electors. That whole system and premise is long gone. Most states now require all electors vote for the person receiving a plurality of the votes in their state. To me, that's not democratic. It effectively disenfranchises half the voters in the state. Why should I even bother to vote in most states since the outcome is already decided before the election.

The theory that judges/justices are impartial (that we were taught in elementary social studies) has been proven wrong several times. That coupled with the fact that too many judges have held on long past their healthy expiration date. I would love to hold all federal court judges to say a 15 year term, let them retire with pensions and even give them emeritus status on the court. 30 plus years on the court is way too long.

MAGAs say she was.
